after reinstalling the whole system with the 0710 DVD for i386 I noticed, that my UIRT was receiving and learning the codes perfectly, but none of the codes were sent to the AV devices. This worked in 0704 perfectly.

When investigating the problem I noticed, that some other people had the same problem with the UIRT and the installed kernel 2.6.22. To make it short, the problem it within the ftdi_sio.c module, which is the (serial usb) driver for the UIRT. The problem didn't appear in 2.6.20 and is solved in 2.6.24, when comparing these two files and reading some more mailing lists and forums, I found a solution which works for LMCE 0710.

That's it, someone forgot a case statement and this caused all the headaches. Btw. simply changing the modules to an older version may work. However in my setup it didn't work, so I had to go the way described here.

So to understand, this fixes the issue of the USB-UIRT not being able to transmit w/out IR Dongles? I know 64 bit will transmit with just the USB-UIRT itself, but since 704, you needed IR Dongles to transmit using the 32bit LMCE.

So is this the fix? If so, excellent!!!

".....Because Once you've LinuxMCE'd....."System stats located at my user page:

The error occurs between the kernel versions greater then 2.6.20 and less then 2.6.24. LMCE is 2.6.22, the old kernel for 0704 didn't had the bug.

If you measure the output of the ir-sensor, you will notice, that it blinks, but it simply doesn't send any data. The IR-Learning was working, because the UIRT registers two devices. The one mentioned above (FT232RL) is the transmitter and this one was lost in the LMCE kernel version.

I've been trying to get this fixed for a couple of weeks now. it will learn, but it won't transmit. I'm not a complete newbie, but no matter how i try to compile i always get an errors. I end up running a make and it compile all the drivers, but still i get driver errors on startup and Linuxmce complains of a device issue. At this point UIRT doesn't work at all. Any suggestions?

and others.... I have no idea what I'm doing, so can't really troubleshoot it! I had to follow a previous error's recommendation on make oldconfig as there apparently was no kernel .config file. I note from linuxmjb's comments that they seem to be copying a .config file from the system. Either way doesn't seem to have worked for me... really keen to get my IR working again.... can anybody help out please?? Perhaps we can just get the compiled version ... I'm running i386 ...
